PETER D.4 HORN, OF AROADIA, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JAMES K. HERSHMAN AND CHRISTOPHERV O. WHITE, OF SAME PLAGE.

CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 237,868, dated February 15, 1881.

Application .led September 15, 1880. (Model.) l

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, PETER D. HORN, of Arcadia, in the county of Hamilton and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohurns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, ref'er- 1o ence being had to the accompanyingdrawiu gs,

which form a part of this speciiication.

Figure 1 is a top view, Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view ofthe dasher detached from the churn.

i 5 Corresponding parts iu the several figures are denoted by like letters of reference.

This invention relates to that class of churns which have a horizontal rotating dasher 5 and it consists in certain improvements in the conzo struction ofthe same, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularlyT pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings hereto annexed, A represents the body of the churn, which is, by preference, semi-cylindrical in shape.

B is a horizontal shaft, mounted in the side of the churn-body A inthe following manner:

C is a set-screw, placed in a threaded opening in one of the sides ofthe churn-body, and

3o having an unthreaded stem entering a recess in one end of the shaft, which is therefore capable of turning thereon.

D is a stem, mounted in abearing in the opposite end of the churn-body, having a crank,

3 5 E, by which it may be turned, and provided at its extreme end with a thread formed in a direction opposite to the thread of the setscrew C, and entering a threaded recess in the opposite end of the dashershaft. By this 4o construction and arrangement it will be seen that the dasher-shaft, while safely mounted, is capable of being turned by the crank E Without danger of dislocating the screws upon which it is mounted.

Oentrallyupon the dasher-shaft are mounted blades or wings F, forked, as shown, so as to form Jfingers Gr. Upon the ends of the shaft adjoining the said forked blades are secured wings H H, twisted in such a direction as to throw the milk or cream toward the center of 5o the churn, the win gs on opposite sides being twisted or turned in opposite directions, as shown. The beaters are arranged in line with each other on all four sides ofthe shaft, and in equal numbers thereon.

The operation and advantages of myinvention will be readily understood from the foregoing description, and by reference to the drawings hereto annexed.

When the dasher is rotated the cream is 6o thrown from both ends to the center of the churn, thus thoroughly cutting, stirring, and breaking the cream, the butter thus produced being gathered by the central iin gered blades,F.

My improved churn is simple, convenient, easily operated, and may be easily taken apart for cleaning or other purposes.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- 7o A horizontal rotating dasher-shaft, B, having the central bifurcated beaters, F, and the twisted beaters H ou each side thereof, and at the ends of the shaft, said beaters F H arranged in line with each other on all four sides 7 5 of the shaft, and in equal numbers thereon, as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

' PETER D. HORN.
